Just a guess, but look in your PV-Wave install directory and see if
there are 2 executables. Many vendors ship both a 32 and 64-bit version
of their program with their 64-bit version. It might be as simple as
changing your symlink to point to pvwave64 or something like that.
It's been a while since I installed PV-Wave. The newest version I have
around here is 2.01 :) I don't know what's fashionable these days.
/var? /usr/local? Poke around and you should be able to find the
install dir.
Worst case, PV-Wave ships separate 32 or 64-bit versions and you'll have
to install the 64-bit version.

Thanks for your reply Rick. Here is the output of running the 'print,
!Version' on the two workstations.
- Workstation on which LONG reads 4 bytes
WAVE> print, '!Version
{ sparc solaris 8.50 sun4}
- Workstation on which LONG reads 8 bytes
WAVE> print, "!Version"
{ sparc solaris64 8.51 b sun4}
Any ideas on how to change the PV-Wave configuration to run the 64-bit
version?
Thanks,
Subir

Are you running the 64-bit version on one machine and the 32-bit version
on the other?
Try print, !Version or PV-Wave's equivalent.

This sounds, well, unlikely. What evidence do you
have for it?
Cheers,
David
